Keri Stoyle Fall 2010 Professional Development: Past, Present, and Future
In hopes to bridge the gap between my current knowledge of technology, and the knowledge of my incoming students each year, I have developed this professional development plan to address current experience and future goals. This plan will serve as a blueprint of personal professional learning goals to help meet the individual needs of students in regards to 21st Century learning skills. While technology is everchanging, this blueprint will change to meet the technology demands in our global society. The goal of professional development is to gain the skills necessary to support, strenghten, and foster creativity, communication, and innovation in not only K-12 students, but of preservice educators.
